I have an art background, but no formal culinary training, so I have created SMASHCAKE as a blog-style space in which to incrementally develop my craft. The element of process is so vital in any creative work, and it's my wish to document and explore the in-between stretch between nothingness and a finished product; the space where most learning takes place.

My goal is to work backwards first, breaking things down to their basic elements. From there I will gradually rebuild and explore connections.

It's my version of self-schooling, and I would love for you to join me on the journey!
